The jungle was silent with only the occasional and the birds twittering announcing a new day. The sunlight peeks in between the gaps of the intersecting branches falling on the jungle floors. It was too early for the jungles’ resident to start their day. The jungle stirred, the squirrel that had come out from its hole frantically went in and the birds sat mutely on the tree branches eyes scrutinising the intruders. The rustling of leaves could be heard from a distance and the crunch every footstep the unknown creatures made, the animals peer curiously as what the assumed as monster had trespass their territory. The birds that stood watching in a flash spread their wings and fly, giving out a warning to the others.

“Father, we should pitch our camp here.”

A man with feminine features stretching from his sharp jaw to length of his hair, with eyes as dark as the tree bark, skin as white as doves wings, when he stood next to his father, the curvatures of his body implicates frailty and not masculinity with the tight dress shirt he worn, announced with his hands outstretched in total bliss. His voice was sweet and gentle with his lips curved with a smile, and his cheeks were adorned with natural flush.

“Well, I do agree this will be a perfect spot for our new discovery, my dear child.”

A stout man with grey hairs waving as the wind blew, he was indeed aged but with the accompaniment of his spectacles, he looks wiser. The man was dressed in a drenched pale pink shirt perhaps due to the long consummation of journey.

As they start pitching ups their camp with the help of two tough looking men with the enormity of their biceps and the viciousness of their looks, and the strength they possess. Until the dark befalls them and the jungle was no place for wandering.

Morning comes, and the son went out bringing along his treasured, hard-covered herb logy book wandering to the unknown realm, discovering the unique plants in the jungle, once in awhile referring to his book until the sun was almost setting but he was too immersed in his own unearthing, plucking plants that could be use for the future. He heard rustling, no, it wasn’t a gentle stir of the dried leaves, it’s more like a ferocious rip of the dried leaves .He was too scared to turn around and to notify that his assumption that perhaps it was tiger waiting to have his head for dinner waiting for him with saliva dribbling from the corner of its large jaws. He closed his eyes tightly in prayer, his book being embraced firmly against his chest, he walked away with a tiptoe with his forehead started to drizzle with nervous perspiration. He could hear the roar and he was done for good, as he surrendered to his fate when a he was harshly lifted by a hand and all he knows his palm against a bare human skin,and he could hear the loud angry roar of the tiger.

~

He was flying all over the jungle with a man who only covering his genital part with a cloth and he didn’t know which one is scarier. Being eaten by a tiger or being kidnapped by a man from a tribal. He tried to converse with the man.

“Excuse me, where are we going?”He asked as he wrapped his arms around the man’s waist as if his life depends on it and all he got was a snort from the man.

The man had a long mane with a faint smell of murky water and wild flowers. His body was built with those strong arms that he swoon him with. They abruptly stopped on an abandoned tree house when the thunder was rumbling loudly.

He sat at the wooden patio restlessly, all he wanted the comfort of his father and his uncomfortable bed. The man’s eyes were bulging out of his socket, as if tracing his features with his strong gaze. The man closed their distance, and the man tipped his chin curiously and he was twitchy with this sudden contact of the man coarse palm with his tender skin.

“What’s your name?” He asked when the man let down his chin.

The man raised his eyebrow questioningly with his head tilted slightly in wonderment. And, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

So,he introduced himself first, resting the man’s palm on the junctures of his chest.

“Taemin.”He smiled and the man tried to reiterate it unsurely like a child learning a new word.

“Min.”The man said and he shook his head.

“No, TAEMIN.”He pronounced it loud and clear for several times.

And finally he got it.

“Now, you try!”Taemin prompted him.

The man took Taemin’s palm and rested it on his solid chest and it sends shiver and thickens the usual natural flush on his cheeks.

“Meeno”The man said and Taemin nodded in approval.

“Hello Meeno.”Taemin greeted politely.

And the latter followed suit,”Hello Meeno” leaving Taemin laughing out loud.

When the rain finally blesses the jungle’s floor, Meeno had his arms wrapped around Taemin’s frail body.

~

And from that meeting, that had save Taemin’s life and a new discovery for Meeno in searching his true identity amongst the humankinds where he belongs. Taemin taught Meeno to read and write with limited resources he brought from his homeland and Meeno taught him the magic and beauty of the jungle, introducing him to his ape family and Taemin was welcomed to their colony. It was a perfect life, as their normal day is spent strolling in the jungle ascertaining new things that had missed their eyes before. It was when Meeno was progressing and he could converse almost fluently that Taemin and his father invited him to dinner at their humble camp and Meeno agreed. Taemin’s father lent Meeno one of his best suits and Taemin can’t wait for it.

~

The “ape-man” that they had met before had shifted to this dashing debonair with his long mane tied to a neat ponytail and the suit fitted him perfectly and Taemin had fallen again for him. An at the dinner table, when he sit up straight and eat his dinner in a perfect manner, he was a changed man.

“So Minho, why don’t you come back with us next week to our homeland?”Taemin’s father proposed and Taemin looked at Minho for a response.

Minho rested his cutlery on the table and Taemin had a bad feeling about this.

“Sorry, but Meeno reject this.”He said with his English still not at its outmost reach.

Taemin stood up from his chair, bowed politely and went outside for a breath of fresh air,missing the worried glance from Minho.

~

As he stood underneath the stars, he was well aware, that both of them are different in every way. He shouldn’t be worrying about this one guy, when he could get hundreds more back at his homeland. Without his notice, Minho stood next to him staring at the constellation admiringly.

“Because of you,I know the name of these “He pointed on the sky and Taemin knew he were trying to say.

“Meeno sorry,but family here.”He exclaimed and Taemin understood perfectly well.Minho have his family here that he needs to take care and it was Taemin’s fault for asking Minho to depart from this to civilisation.

Taemin nodded, bid his goodnight and entered his tent.

~

It was few minutes away from the time they’ll be departing from the island on a ship; the campsite seemed empty as most of their belongings had been loaded into the ship. And every step Taemin took his eyes darted back waiting for that one person. His father had taken notice on this, and was smiling mischievously at the side.

When they were settled on a boat rowing towards the ship, the man Taemin had been waiting appeared, peeking behind the coconut trees with his family. Taemin eyes were starting to tear up, no; he couldn’t leave the one he loved. He stood up from the boat, and rushes to the beach with no care in the world are given as his pantaloon soaked wet with the salty water. His father followed suit.

He leaped on Minho and the man swing him around as he rested his chin on Minho’s shoulder. After few spins that had made his head dizzy, Minho put him down and kisses his lips, they kisses as if it was a new discovery that had been made in the world. When they broke apart, Taemin was smiling widely like a love struck boy he is.

“Where did you know how to do that?”Taemin asked as he calms down his beating heart.

“I did my homework.”Minho retorted back as he draped his arm around Taemin’s waist.

And Taemin’s father trailing behind them conversing with one of the gorillas happily.

And you'll be in my heart
Yes; you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
